Whoa!! What a cup

Another long layoff before I am blogging. And what a time to blog?? We have just entered the quarter-finals of world cup football 2006, and the first match was superb. The match set the tone for the rest of the world cup. I was rooting for Argentina and was disappointed after the loss.

Over the years, I always preferred to watch Latinos play football rather than Europeans. There is a lot of flair in the way South American countries played their game. My favourite team though is Netherlands. This might seem contradictory, but Dutch football is very much like Brazilian way. It is unfortunate that they had to loose in pre-quarters. Another European country that I donot mind rooting for is England. This is due to the EspnStar coverage of Premier League.

We had a great time watching today's match, though. There was a huge screen put up in our office cafeteria today for the match, and it was fun watching it with a large crowd. This looks like a European dominated world cup this time. What else can one expect with world cup in Europe. Brazil is the only Latin country left, but they have a tough match ahead with just peaking France.
